Luna's been resource guarding from the other dogs. We're working on a lot of management, training, and classical conditioning, and really focusing on reducing the stress in the house for dogs AND humans.

One of the things we've tried is a DAP plug-in. The thing stinks. It smells like it's on fire and melting slowly form the outlet. I thought our diffuser was just faulty, but I tried our trainer's, and hers stinks, too. It worries me that it's a fire hazard, but most of all it gives me a headache.

However, now I have basically a full refill bottle of DAP, and that stuff's not cheap. Any ideas on other diffusion methods? Reeds? Those candle-based oil diffusers? When I do aromatherapy, I put the oil in a cup and add hot water... I just don't want it to go to waste.

I knew a vet who had it in a hand sprayer(it came that way in a little spray bottle) and she put it on her dog's blankets

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

Wow, I've never noticed any kind of smell from mine. I've had it for years, I wonder if they've changed production methods? Seems to me I've seen where you can buy it in a spray bottle as well. Maybe on the Petsmart website or Entirely Pets website. I don't see why you could't just pour the refill into a small spray bottle and use it that way.

I'm wondering if I can dab some on one of her collars... I just hate wasting a whole refill.

We're also using Bach's remedies, the Thundershirt, some TTouch, aromatherapy, L-theanine-- the last two for dogs AND humans. It's definitely helping me calm down. I'm going to put a CD player in the room with their crates to play Through a Dog's Ear. The DAP was one more gun in the arsenal and I hate to waste it now.
